The public hearing is set to commence on Monday, November 30, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., in the Commission’s hearing room located at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
2. RMP is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, engaged in the business of supplying electric utility service to customers throughout its six-state service territory, including Wyoming. RMP is a public utility subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. (Wyo. Stat. §§ 37-1-101(a)(vi)(C), 37-2-112).
3. On April 15, 2022, the Company submitted an Application requesting authority to revise rates pursuant to two different rate schedules: [i] its Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM) Tariff Schedule 95, requesting authority to collect approximately 25.9 million in deferred NPC; and, [ii] its REC and SO2 revenue adjustment mechanism (RRA) Tariff Schedule 93, requesting authority to refund approximately $2.7 million to customers to reflect the sale of RECs and SO2 emission allowances. The total Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM) deferral from calendar year 2021 is a charge consisting of the following: [i] deferred ECAM costs of $25.8 million after the applicable percent sharing band; [ii] accrued interest of approximately $0.6 million; and [iii] a credit of approximately $0.6 million to true-up revenues from the 2020 ECAM (Docket No. 20000-582-EM-20); and, the 2021 ECAM (Docket No. 20000-599-EM-21).
